Samsung has a Winner with the LN46A550 I ordered the Samsung LN46A550, sight unseen, from Electronics Expo based upon the price/performance ratio and the fact that Samsung HDTV's have always struck me as having the best image quality. So far, I've not been disappointed. For a price just under $1600, this is undoubtedly a lot of TV for the money. First and foremost, the picture quality is superb. I have spent much time at Best Buy, Circuit City, and the Electronics Expo for the past 18 months and so I'm not easily impressed. But ...

Terrific TV, Great Customer Service Since pretty much everyone on here has given this TV the same praise, I will spare you all of the details it is certainly the best TV for the money out there today.
However, my customer service experience is something to note here. Like others, I was wary of making such a large purchase online. Low price + no sales tax and free shipping made up my mind. After seamlessly receiving the TV 4 days after ordering it, it broke withing 3 hours of being delivered (there was a loud snap-like...

Great quality for your money I recently assisted my parents in purchasing this television for their room. The price was right (1699$) at the time purchase (4-3-2008) for this set. 30,000:1 contrast ratio with more ports and cable slots than I myself could fill with all 3 video game systems this generation and a peripheral DVD player.
The image is extremely clear with no banding or ghosting whatsoever (but like any HDTV don't stare at the screen from point blank). HD channels come in crisp and clear, and blacks l...

Sound is the only drawback We've had this TV for about two weeks now and we're very happy with it. The bottom line is that you get incredible picture quality for a very low price. The colors were a little too intense out of the box but a few adjustments using the on-screen menu controls remedied that. Now it just looks wonderful. As others have said, the sound is mediocre. I think the problem is that the speakers point down, not out. I guess they didn't want to ruin that very stylish, "minimalist" look of the set. ...

Samsung LN46A550 - Best TV - Great picture & easy to setup Samsung LN46A550P 46-inch 1080p LCD HDTV
This is a GREAT TV!! I've never ordered a large item like this "Online", but the price was great $1600 and I figured (it's Amazon) so try it. The merchant was Electronics Expo and they shipped it right to my door exactly as promised. I initially sent them an email asking for them to confirm my order...no reply. I was a little concerned, but it was just the first day of their estimated delivery window. Two days later, the shipping company c...

Returned due to motion blur This is a great looking TV with a very good picture in most situations, but I experienced a higher than expected amount of motion blur, especially when watching sports. I may have had a defective set because I have not read about others having similar issues. Regardless, I am returning this set (for a Panasonic Plasma) because the blur problem is too big for a purchase of this size.
I compared the picture many times to my 34 inch Toshiba tube based HDTV, and the motion blur was defi...

Best HD TV ever you can buy - Look not further I have this TV for over 2 weeks now and I have yet to see anything that is below expectation. Some reviewers have complained about speakers but I feel they are quite adequate, sound quality is very good. Of course it would be unfair to compare the TV speakers to a Bose system or other high end audio system.
Picture quality is excellent. I have seen the very high priced Sonys and Pioneers at electronic stores but this TV's picture quality is as good as them or maybe even better. Fast a...

Samsung LN46A550 - Best bang for the buck!!! After window shopping, reading online reviews, and spending countless hours in front of every flat panel display out there, it was finally time to make a decision last week. The initial debate was plasma vs. lcd. Plasma technology typically offers great black levels and the newer sets don't have the same issue of deteriorating picture quality over time as some of the previous models. LCD typically offers a more vivid picture with slightly less aggressive black levels. Personal preference aft...

Great TV for great price. I just purchased from Amazon for $1499 (No shipping and No Tax), but within 2 days price has dropped to 1479, I contacted Amazon about it and they issued a credit for $20 right away. (Very fast shipping TV came in 2 days later. I just got it last night)
Overall TV is great. Very clear picture. So much better from previous TV (56' projection TV from Toshiba - which died about a week ago). Next purchase, I want to get Blu-Ray player or PS3 so that I could use max 1080p capability. TV i...

Great TV at a Great Price First things first, I ordered this TV directly from Amazon and within a few days the price dropped and Amazon refunded the difference. Awesome! Amazon's White Glove delivery service delivered as promised and was OK to deal with; no issues at all. So for those of you wondering whether it is better to spend a few hundred bucks to order this set from a brick and mortar store; keep your money in your pocket and order from Amazon.
As for the TV, I am not a video expert type, but I do re...
